finally watched Vampyros Lesbos. every movie’s name should be exactly what it’s about.

probably takes a lot of beer to get a walrus drunk

never gonna stop buying more ways to play tiger-heli

honestly hate that I know what “glup shitto” means.

Interested in gaming with miniatures but daunted by collecting all those lil goobers? 1490 Doom is a good entry point for the mini-curious. www.avclub.com/1490-doom-wa...

(fun fact: “Alucarda” backwards spells “A Dracula”!)

just thought about this again

This is like when Homer Simpson designed his own car

get into games writing because you want to write, not because you want to work in games

the missions in Transport Fever 3 are absurd in weird and fun ways. my attempt at throwing Woodstock failed twice because the medicine I needed to treat my dysentery-riddled camp got stuck in a traffic jam so bad that my trucks could only go a couple of miles in a full calendar year.

late ‘60s communist lectures bookending regular joes failing at crime

*Taylor Sheridan pulling a slot machine arm* "Ok, we got... Kurt Russell... as a... Fire Chief in... Paducah, Kentucky" Paramount Exec: Sure whatever, here's $40,000,000. All of our parents: Prairie of Flames is the best show on TV

I failed at putting on Woodstock twice in Transport Fever 3.

No artistic medium is better suited to discussing humanity’s natural inclination to fail than video games, as Forestrike proves. www.avclub.com/forestrike-g...

what chain store parking lot does Matthew Sweet’s Girlfriend make YOU think of

were the early ‘90s the last time power pop came anywhere close to commercial viability

A Simple Plan is still Raimi’s best

played every single one of these bands on WUOG back in the day. and yeah, Village of Savoonga needs to get on Bandcamp in a hurry.

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, the next game from the Disco Elysium studio, has to overcome both its predecessor and messy real-world drama.

addicted to the internet, and the internet fucking sucks!

Olympics peaked in ‘92 when Aleksandr Karelin and the shaven-headed US men’s volleyball team took over Letterman’s time slot

man, Pete Campbell really hated racism. solid guy.

…totally forgot Betty Draper had a brunette phase

…sounds like i shoulda watched dynamite tonight

if they did that with Gremlins 2 the movie would never end

again, wasn’t angry about it, but maybe the most deflated / disappointed I’ve ever been by a movie was Your Highness. who would’ve ever thought that Danny McBride doing a parody of ‘80s fantasy schlock wouldn’t be an all-time classic?

seriously considered throwing a shoe at the screen during Strange Days

There's a narrative and mechanical hollowness at the core of the new psychological horror game Love Eternal that keeps it from liftoff. Our review: www.avclub.com/love-eternal...

watching a Jerry Lewis movie. if I had a time machine I’d go back and ask my grandparents why they thought crossed eyes were so funny.

learning to love Dig Dug

between Times Square and Fabulous Stains, there is a serious problem with the original songs from early ‘80s movies about teen girls inspiring punk rock movements not being legally streamable anywhere

“Buddy Holly” was the biggest in the traditional radio/MTV sense* but Rock Band blew “Say It Ain’t So” the hell up. (I’m not looking this up but “Beverly Hills” might’ve charted higher but a band’s first smash hit almost always looms largest)

I dunno, Ladies And Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains, playing a show to 500 teenage girls rhythmically flipping the bird and yelling fuck off seems pretty cool

i've lived in all of those decades

NEW: Highguard studio Wildlight's secret financial backer was Tencent, sources tell me www.gamefile.news/p/tencent-hi...

Surfer Sting will always be cooler than Crow Sting because Surfer Sting was able to feel and express joy.

having one of those "wait is this thing I've liked forever somehow even better than I thought it was" moments with "Powderfinger." sucks Skynyrd never got to record it.

one of the clearest "your pick reveals your age" matchups in this thing
